BMW Art from parts anyone

[rustyrotors]

I leased a 2000 M Coupe back in the day. I curbed a rear wheel, however the repair looked like crap. The paint didn't quite match, so I purchased a new wheel. I knew one day I would eventually make a table from the old wheel, which has followed me around for 22 years. Any one else make anything from car parts?

Cool. Nice surround system by the way.

My friends wife managed a trucking dispatch warehouse in Newark NJ and when they closed, one of the boxes left behind was an 850i crate motor.

Unclaimed, the owner of the property said "have at it"
Thinking we hit the mother load, our friend a BMW mechanic opened it up and it was a display motor for an auto show or something with no pistons or internals.

Guys from a very well known NJ based tuner group bought it for a table. It appears they are no longer in business so no telling where it is

When I was dating my now-wife many moons ago, we made a floor lamp as a project. It used an Audi flywheel for the base, an ancient tractor-trailer camshaft for the post, and a K&N conical air filter for the lamp shade. Still have it to this day, sitting next to the couch.

Most of the furniture in our house is toolboxes, workbenches, or based on vehicle parts. At one point, we had a polished diamond plate aluminum pickup truck toolbox as a coffee table. Whatever you do, stay away from the Car Guy Garage web site. You've been warned.....

I’ve had several paperweights from engine parts, and considered a wheel-table and engine-table, but never done it. Mainly because it wouldn’t properly match our decor, or so I’m told (emphatically).

By the interior design chief? One of many hats she wears, I'm sure.
